North Korean state media says leader Kim Jong Un held discussions with Russia’s defense minister on strengthening “strategic and tactical coordination” between the countries’ militaries, as Kim continued a visit to Russia’s Far East that has raised concerns about an arms alliance that would fuel Moscow’s war on Ukraine.

South Korea has expressed “deep concern and regret” over a meeting between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has arrived in Russia ahead of an expected meeting with President Vladimir Putin that has sparked Western concerns about a potential arms deal for Moscow’s war in Ukraine.

Russia and North Korea say North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will visit Russia, where he is expected to hold a highly anticipated meeting with President Vladimir Putin that has sparked Western concerns about a potential arms deal for Moscow’s war in Ukraine.

After a year and a half of fighting in Ukraine, Russia needs to replenish its supplies of ammunition for what could be a long war of attrition.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that defense minister Oleksii Reznikov will be replaced this week with Rustem Umerov, a Crimean Tatar lawmaker.

The severed wing from Yevgeny Prigozhin’s private jet was apparently found miles away from the crash site Friday — evidence, according to aviation experts, to support a growing consensus that the Russian mercenary leader was killed after his plane was sabotaged and tumbled out of the sky in pieces.

Over the years, Kremlin political critics, turncoat spies and journalists have been killed in a variety of ways.

Before running Wagner, Prigozhin was once Putin’s personal chef and confidant.

The leader of the Wagner mercenary group would not be the first person to fall out of favor with the Kremlin and then appear to die in suspicious circumstances.

Yevgeny Prigozhin was among seven passengers aboard the business jet when it came down, the Tass state news agency reported.

Russia reported an “abnormal situation” Saturday on its moon-bound Luna-25 spacecraft, which launched earlier this month.

President Joe Biden spoke from the NATO summit in Lithuania on Wednesday, praising the alliance for its defense of Ukraine against the Russian invasion. “[Putin] was betting NATO would break apart… He thought wrong.”

The president said he had a video call over the weekend with allies who are all working to make sure there is no way Vladimir Putin can blame the mutiny on the West or NATO.

A short-lived revolt by a rebellious Russian mercenary commander has ended with his troops beating a retreat, but the extraordinary challenge to President Vladimir Putin’s two-decade hold on power could have long-term consequences.
